Xiao Ancheng smiled silently. He knew that this was his comrade. It was so unexpected to meet his comrade here!
Chen Zifeng laughed loudly, patted his arm and said: "Yes, yes, we are old acquaintances, right! I said brother, what do you call me?"
Lin Jiatai also smiled happily, pointed at himself and said, "I am Lin Jiatai. He is Liang Mao. What about you?"
Chen Zifeng also pointed at himself and said: "I, Chen Zifeng, am from the Intelligence Department of the Military Commission. His name is Xiao Ancheng, and he is with me."
Lin Jiatai nodded, "It's almost as I guessed. I didn't expect that we would meet here."
Chen Zifeng continued to laugh, "That's right, it seems we are destined!"
After that, he put away his smile, showed his cold face again, and stared at Lin Jiatai, "What are you doing here? Can you tell me? Or do you have any other plans?"
Lin Jiatai stared at him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He thought for a moment and realized that it was best to tell the truth. These people are professional agents, and nothing can be deceived by them! If they notice it, the result may be worse!
He nodded and said softly: "I was ordered to go to the front line to observe. There is no plan like you think."
"Observe the situation! Observe how the battle will develop! Observe whether you have a chance to win here!"
"So what if you can win! So what if you can't win!"
"I tell the truth, this is related to our party's next strategy." Lin Jiatai nodded to him seriously.
"What strategy?" Chen Zifeng was even more surprised.
"Have you heard of the Eighth Route Army of the National Army?"
"The Eighth Route Army of the National Army? I've never heard of it! What's wrong!"
"I didn't know until I came here. On August 25, the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Army. The Red Army in Jiangnan was reorganized into the new Fourth Army. My superior told me that the Eighth Route Army and the new Fourth Army
The Fourth Army has recently entered occupied areas to establish anti-Japanese base areas! If we enter behind enemy lines, fewer Japanese troops will be transferred here from North China! If you can persist here longer, it will be easier for us to establish base areas behind enemy lines!
"
"You want to take advantage of us!" Chen Zifeng glared at him fiercely.
"We should cooperate with each other! Not take advantage!" Lin Jiatai also stared at him.
"How many of you are there! It's just such a small area in northern Shaanxi! How can you cooperate with us!"
"This is a national war of resistance, a national war of resistance! Even one more person is good! Don't you understand this?"
"So, this is the purpose of your coming here?"
"Yes, that's the purpose, there is no other purpose!"
Chen Zifeng believed this statement a little, but not quite. He looked back at Xiao Ancheng.
Xiao Ancheng nodded to him in recognition.
Chen Zifeng tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something and asked: "The day before yesterday, at Saposai Road, you and Brother Liang, only two people, suddenly rushed out! Why? Is there any reason?"
Lin Jiatai smiled at him and said, "I'll tell you the truth, that's a safe place I'm responsible for guarding. I found out there were Japanese spies outside, what should I do?"
Chen Zifeng nodded and smiled slyly, "Just to protect Huang Hanhui, right?"
Lin Jiatai said: "Yes. My task today was assigned by him."
Chen Zifeng nodded again. What Lin Jiatai said was reasonable. Moreover, I know everything about you! It made him feel good about himself. He smiled again.
"Mr. Lin, this is a battlefield! The battle is fierce! Do you know?"
"I heard about it. I can also tell you that I have been a soldier and have fought for several years. I have also encountered cruel battles. So, please don't worry. I can handle it!"
Chen Zifeng shook his hand vigorously, but said: "Okay, I will pay attention to you!"
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng turned around and left. Just like that, Lin Jiatai and Liang Mao stayed.
29-21
However, Fu Xuelan, who was about to leave in the morning, did not leave and had to stay.
The reason is that this morning, the Japanese army attacked in advance. The shelling started at dawn.
The second reason why Fu Xuelan stayed was that some wounded soldiers had no time to be evacuated, but they had to be operated on as soon as possible, otherwise, they would not survive! She is a doctor, and she cannot leave them alone!
Before dawn, Company Commander Zhu had been standing outside the door. He saw wounded soldiers with bloody flesh and blood, crying and dying being carried in one by one. When they came out, they were completely different.
The shrapnel or bullets in their bodies were removed, the wounds were sewn up and bandaged, and a wine bottle was hung up to inject "potion" into their bodies.
The wounded soldiers no longer cried, and even had smiles on their faces.
A wounded soldier whose lower leg was amputated actually raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Doctor Bodhisattva!"
He looked in through the crack in the door. The Bodhisattva doctor was performing operations non-stop. Her hair was stuck to her face with sweat and her back was already soaked. Her voice was very gentle when she spoke to the wounded soldiers.
Sometimes she would say: "Brother, please bear with me, I will be fine soon."
Company Commander Zhu glanced at the sky from time to time, feeling very anxious. He hoped that the Bodhisattva doctor would save more wounded soldiers. But as soon as daybreak, the Japanese army would attack!
He said to Lin Jiatai beside him: "It's almost dawn, Dr. Fu should be allowed to go!"
Lin Jiatai also went to the door of the operating room to talk a few times, but Dr. Fu always said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
When the light came out in the east, Captain Zhu called two soldiers and ordered them to protect Dr. Fu's safety.
He said viciously: "Dr. Fu is a Bodhisattva doctor. If she is injured, I will shoot you!"
Lin Jiatai saw that the two soldiers looked at him in horror with their mouths open, unable to say a word.
After a few minutes, Lin Jiatai realized how difficult it was to complete Commander Zhu's order.
The Japanese warships on the Huangpu River fired large-caliber artillery shells, which were extremely powerful.
As soon as the shelling started, the entire Luodian town was caught in the explosions! The national soldiers had nowhere to hide. They could only lie on the ground with their heads in their hands, letting the flying bricks and tiles hit them like raindrops!
The same thing happened at Luodian Station. Artillery shells kept exploding in the station. Some of the relatively intact houses that were originally standing were constantly blown down by the shells, sending up smoke and dust into the sky.
But those veterans who have experienced shelling are very experienced.
They hid by the wall and looked around. When they saw a shell explode, they rushed into the crater. Seven or eight people could even squeeze into one crater. They actually pushed each other laughing and joking.
A few minutes later, when another shell exploded nearby, they jumped into the crater again as if playing a game, and then crowded around with their heads in their hands, as if it was a very interesting thing.
The two soldiers who accepted the important task of protecting Dr. Bodhisattva rushed into the operating room like crazy.
They lifted Dr. Fu up without any explanation and ran outside. Fu Xuelan was lifted under a broken wall without her feet touching the ground, and was pushed down by them directly under the wall.
A soldier covered her with a military blanket and said, "Doctor Fu, I'm sorry, I'm going to lie on top of you. I'm not too heavy and I can't crush you. Please bear with it."
The two soldiers just lay on Fu Xuelan's body, waiting for the shelling to pass.
29-22
At this time, Xiao Ancheng was carrying the radio on his back and leaning against a corner that was only half a man tall, waiting for the bombardment to pass.
He saw Lin Jiatai running by the wall. From time to time he climbed onto the pile of bricks and lay on the wall to look out.
He knew that Lin Jiatai was observing the battle situation. He was curious, so he jumped up and ran towards Lin Jiatai. After a while, he also climbed onto the brick pile and looked outside the wall.
A few minutes later, Chen Zifeng and Qiang Hu also came. They both lay on the wall and looked outside.
Luodian Station is right next to the highway. After crossing the highway and crossing a ditch three or four meters wide, you will find Luodian Town.
Luodian Town is a typical water town with river branches crisscrossing it. Some stone bridges or wooden bridges are built on these river branches. Between the river branches are houses that have been damaged by artillery fire. Looking from a distance, there are almost no intact buildings.
Houses were filled with smoke and dust from the explosion, and some houses were on fire.
In the diffuse smoke and dust, they saw some national soldiers running around and hiding. But the explosion exploded, and their bodies flew into the sky.
Luodian Station was also hit by such shelling. They refused to evade because it was useless. If there were shells exploding around them, even lying on the ground would be useless! What they were paying attention to was the situation in Luodian Town!
Half an hour later, the shelling finally stopped. For a moment, the surroundings seemed extremely quiet, frighteningly quiet!
29-23
At this time, there was a burst of shouting and scolding in the courtyard of Luodian Station.
Chen Zifeng, Lin Jiatai and others on the wall all looked back. They saw Company Commander Zhu scolding the two soldiers. From a distance, they saw Dr. Fu still lying under the wall, motionless.
Lin Jiatai was startled, jumped off the wall, and ran over there.
A soldier desperately explained: "I want to protect Dr. Bodhisattva's safety! I covered her with a blanket and then lay on her! If you want to drop a shell, blow me up first! Can't you? Blow me up first! I have no other way!"
"
Captain Zhu bent down to observe Dr. Fu, then turned around and said, "You crushed her! You stupid pig! You lie on top of Dr. Bodhisattva, a thin woman like you! You bastard!"
The soldier was even more aggrieved, "I don't weigh much! I'm so skinny! I'm so heavy!"
Lin Jiatai finally ran over and leaned down to look at Dr. Fu carefully. There was indeed no injury on her body. She just tilted her face and lay motionless on the ground. He reached out and touched her neck, then lay down and listened carefully to her.
's breath.
He finally stood up, looking at Captain Zhu with a look on his face that was about to smile but was holding back.
He whispered: "Dr. Fu is asleep. She is exhausted."
The soldier looked up to the sky and shouted: "Oh my God! She scared me to death when she fell asleep!"
